rico Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 Friday night's victory over the Rangers moved the Yankees five games over .500, the first of many steps manager Joe Torre would like to see his team take this season. Torre has had a long-standing philosophy that a team's goal each season should be to get to five-games over, then 10, and so on. If a team finds itself 20 games over .500 when the calendar turns to September, the postseason should be well within reach. "It's important, because you're really competing against yourself all the time," Torre said. "You get your record to a certain neighborhood and you can expect good things to happen, like postseason play. You start putting a record on the board and you refuse to be denied. Five-over is the first plateau." Saturday, New York looks to take the next step toward the 10-over mark, sending Shawn Chacon to the mound against Kameron Loe and the Rangers. Chacon starts for the first time since April 27, having had his start pushed back in order to keep Randy Johnson and Mike Mussina on regular rest. Chacon has won three straight decisions, having held Tampa Bay to one earned run over 6 1/3 innings in his last outing. Saturday's start will mark the 100th of Chacon's career. The Yankees have won five of their last six games. Pitching matchup NYY: RHP Shawn Chacon (3-1, 4.56 ERA) Chacon is 2-0 with a 3.21 ERA in his career against the Rangers. TEX: RHP Kameron Loe (1-2, 4.15 ERA) Has thrown five or more innings in six of his seven starts in 2006. Player to watch Brad Wilkerson is 7-for-14 in his career against Chacon, homering twice. Wilkerson, who is riding an eight-game hitting streak, has the highest average of any active player with at least 15 plate appearances against Chacon.

Yanks up 2-1 Top 6th No, it starts with a bad call, then he was picked off but DeRosa didn't cover 2nd and that lead to the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Giant Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 what???????????? a-rod...3 run HR?? yeah... thats right! BIIIIIIATCH 5-1 Yanks Damon was out at first, the call was missed. Rod threw a strike to second on the pitch out but DeRosa didn't cover the bag and that led to the ball going to center and Damon going to 3rd. Too bad for Loe, he pitched great. Hopefully, ya'lls pen gets active soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njsmalls Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 A-Rod was way overdue for a homer. These Yankees look much better than last year...more consistency. Yankees lead 6-1. But, because of last night...I'll wait until the bottom of the 9th and 3 outs to get excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
